Football referees banned indefinitely after appearing drunk on sideline during match

Two referees in the Czech soccer league have been banned indefinitely after one appeared to be drunk on the sideline and the other urinated behind the goal midway through a match.

The verdict delivered by the federation's referee committee came a day after the Czech First League match between Pribram and Slavia Prague, which was broadcast live on TV.

Assistant referee Marek Pilny attracted attention from the start as he stumbled along the sideline and at one point he fell over, prompting the TV commentator to say he was better entertainment than the players.
